Summary

FRESH MORNING EWE MILK SAMPLES WERE TESTED FOR TEMPERATURE, PH AND TITRATABLE ACIDITY, FILLED INTO 250 MILLILITER CARTONS TO A DEPTH OF APPROXIMATELY 50 MILLIMETERS, AND PLACED INTO A DEEP-FREEZE ROOM AT 261, 253 AND 246 K (-12, -20 AND -27 DEG C) ; SOME SURPLUS MILK WAS FROZEN IN 5-LITRE CONTAINERS. THE PREPARATION OF YOGURT FROM ALL MILK SAMPLES WAS ACHIEVED OVER THE WHOLE STORAGE PERIOD ; LACTIC CURD CHEESES AND COULOMMIERS-TYPE CHEESES FROM MILK KEPT AT 261 K WERE NOSSC. PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS INDICATE THAT STORAGE OF EWE MILK AT 261 K IS INADEQUATE FOR SUCCESSFUL LONG-TERM STORAGE WITH SUBSEQUENT PRODUCT MANUFACTURE, AND THAT PROBLEMS WITH BOTH QUALITY AND YIELD OF CHEESE PRODUCTS FROM MILK STORED AT 253 K CAN BE EXPECTED AT OR AFTER 6 MONTHS.
